How To’s

Problem: Adobe Premiere Hangs on Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle. I’m using a 2013 retina macbook pro with OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Cause: This has been happening when Adobe Premiere CS6 doesn’t close properly, my external hard drive where I host my videos has been randomly disconnecting (I suspect Mavericks is the cause).

Fix 1:

– Restart your computer 

– This has been the only thing that works for me, somebody suggested removing the ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle and  ImporterQuickTimeHost.bundlefrom the Applications content folder but this gave me an error and the tool wouldnt open.

Fix 2: 

Opening task manager and ending the process running called  ‘dynamiclink‘ . Once closed Premier Pro will open with no errors.

Here is a picture of where it hangs.

I’ve created a quick video on how to be sure you have genuine ATH-M50’s or ATH-M50X’s. They use the same drivers so they will be the same as ATH-M50’s show on the video.

I love garage sales, and I love thrift stores, why? cheap electronics 😛 Friday after work, I left on a thriftshop run with my mother. I always check electronics first. I often see 17-19 inch 4:3 monitors but they are often priced at $50 which imo is way overpriced. Today i happened to see a widescreen monitor which appeared to be ~21-23 inches. Samsung 2232GW. I plug it in and I dont see anything on the display. I wait a few seconds and see that there is a flashing “digital/analog” box. One of the employees comes over and says “I thought It was working…. let me take it back”…  I quickly replied that I would buy it and test it at home. When I got home, I did a little bit of research and figure out these monitors had defective capacitors and that they would be easy to replace. I quickly serached a youtube video and figured out how to open it up. Somebody from Ebay sold me a “repair kit” with the exact 7 capacitors known to go bad, and in a few days they arrived.

I kept getting this stupid line that kept moving up when I tried to delete it. Most likely from me copying and pasting text from Microsoft Word to Libre Office.

Here are the steps to delete it 

1) Open the document

2) Select all text with Ctrl+A (Note: his can also be done on individual paragraphs without selecting all text)

3)  Click on Format–> Paragraph

4) Click on the Border Tab and uncheck all borders AND the checkbox “Merge with next paragraph”

5) Now you can go manually and remove or add the horizontal rules by placing your cursor on the line you want the horizontal rule to be and going to Format –> Paragraph, and then checking the bottom border.
